They were questioned at Finglas and Blanchardstown garda stations by detectives investigating the sale and supply of drugs in the area.In the first operation, a man and woman were arrested yesterday morning after gardaí, including the armed support unit, raided an apartment in Finglas.Gardaí found a suspected grow house in a follow-up search in another apartment in the same complex.
The woman has been charged and is due to appear at Blanchardstown District Court on Friday 9 December, while the man in his 20s has been released without charge.Chief Superintendent Finbarr Murphy at Blanchardstown Garda Station, said:"I welcome the results of these searches led by local gardaí in the Finglas area, supported by Regional and National Units, working hard to keep the citizens of Finglas and the wider Dublin region safe.
"It is of serious concern that what appears to be a cannabis jelly manufacturing operation has been discovered and now dismantled. We have previously seen a number of children hospitalised, seriously ill, as a result of consuming cannabis jelly products. "The production of these products is an insidious, clear attempt by organized crime groups to normalise these illegal activities. These products designed to look like normal edible jellies are dangerous, not just to children but to any person consuming them."
